Re: Propose an HL7 work group on RDF for Semantic Interoperability?

2014-05-13 Thread David Booth
Doug Fridsma of the ONC was at the HL7 meetings last week. I suspect that if HL7 works on this, then the ONC will follow. And if efforts by HL7 and W3C to move this forward in the healthcare community are successful, that would enable ONC to show support. From what I have seen, the ONC tends

Agree with David - that HCLS has done a good job in raising awareness in the W3C community - with informal participation from HL7 regulars. However, I think we need some sort of a deeper collaboration - to achieve impact. Another body to involve is ONC - which is likely to be influential - Not sur

Hi Peter, Thanks for your comments. Yes, work like yours is definitely part of the motivation behind this! And for sure, the intent is *not* to create new models in RDF, but the opposite: to expose *existing* models as RDF, so that RDF can act as a common semantic substrate across whatever

Hi Michel, Thanks for your comments. There definitely will need to be more specific deliverables identified at some point. I guess I'm thinking of it initially as an umbrella under which various specific milestones and deliverables will be identified and pursued as the group prioritizes its

We are in fact doing just that at Kaiser on a small experimental scale. We are working with Oxford and RDFox and creating an HL7 "RIM Like model". It is not the full RIM but is Entities in Roles Participating in Acts. I think it would be a mistake to try to put the whole RIM into RDF. Also I'm

One suggestion would be to organize this around some concrete use cases – as we have done in the past around the COI Task Force. Some examples which come to mind would be: - Clinical Decision Support at the point of care - Clinical Analytics and Risk Stratification - Leveragi

David, I'm excited about the prospect, but I think the work group may be a bit too broad without further refinement. I'd like to see a charter articulated with a more specific focus, and identifying milestones that deliver concrete outcomes (specifications, implementations, reports) around target

I was at the HL7 meetings last week, and the idea arose of proposing an HL7 work group on RDF for Semantic Interoperability. I took the initiative to draft a possible charter. I meant to send it out earlier in case folks would like to discuss the idea on our 11:00am Eastern HCLS call today.
